I does not really have to be supported. It is just good to say so ;-)

The latest patch to targets.jam didn't fix this. Was it supposed to?

Well, I am not sure how to test this. Currently I have this:

common = <threading>multi ;
msvc = $(common) <search>d:/software/cppunit-1.8.0/lib ;
msvc6 = $(msvc) <toolset-msvc:version>6.0 ;
msvc71 = $(msvc) <toolset-msvc:version>7.1 ;
gcc = $(common) <toolset>gcc <search>c:/msys/1.0/local/lib ;

lib cppunit : : <name>cppunit60 <variant>release $(msvc6) ;
lib cppunit : : <name>cppunitd60 <variant>debug $(msvc6) ;

lib cppunit : : <name>cppunit71 <variant>release $(msvc71) ;
lib cppunit : : <name>cppunitd71 <variant>debug $(msvc71) ;

lib cppunit : : <name>cppunit <variant>release $(gcc) ;
lib cppunit : : <name>cppunitd <variant>debug $(gcc) ;

This is (should be?) supported, right? Well, when I do 'bjam 
toolset=msvc-7.1" I get the error mentioned above. Using msvc-6.0 or gcc 
as the toolset works fine.
